I want a little sugar

in my bowl

I want a little sweetness

down in my soul

I could stand some lovin'

Oh so bad

I feel so funny and I feel so sad



I want a little steam

on my clothes

Maybe I can fix things up

so they'll go

Whatsa matter Daddy

Come on, save my soul

I need some sugar in my bowl

I ain't foolin'

I want some sugar in my bowl



You been acting different 

I've been told

Soothe me

I want some sugar in my bowl

I want some steam

on my clothes

Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go

Whatsa matter Daddy

Come on save my soul

I want some sugar in my bowl

I ain't foolin'

I want some - yeah - in my bowl.
